Ottawa-Gatineau: Le bataillon - CIBC Run for the Cure

Ottawa-Gatineau

Le bataillon

  • In December 2021, in the middle of the pandemic, it hit us, I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. I jumped into treatment with all that I had. Right before my first run they discovered brain metastasis, I did not know if I was going to see the end of the year. I was lucky and it responded to treatment. Unfortunate in may 2023 it came back in my lymph nodes, not only triple negative but inflammatory not only was it back but it was most agressive form  and the harder to control. I was again lucky it responded to another chemo regimen and I am now on continuous treatment which keeps things stable for now. We need research and we need more treatment NOW to give us a fighting chance.

     We are participating and fundraising for this year’s Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure on Sunday, October 6 2024, because we believe better treatment options and survival outcomes are possible. And we want to support all Canadians impacted by breast cancer, including our family and friends. 
 
With your help, we can reach our fundraising goal and fund groundbreaking breast cancer research and support programs and services for those impacted by this disease. Together, we can create a future without breast cancer.  
 
Please donate today. Help us give Canadians impacted by breast cancer a reason to have hope.  
 
Thank you! We appreciate your generous support. 
 
P.S. Did you know? A $75 donation can fund a clinical trial for someone with breast cancer to test new treatments to save lives and give hope to countless others.
